I have been stung by a WhatsApp scam on my email account and changed my password.  All mail sent is held in the outbox with actually sending. gmail account in Google works  OK. How to restore Mac mail?

I have a one year old MacBook Pro, using Yosemite OS. In my Mac mail account I use gmail. I have recently been stung by an e- mail scam using WhatsApp. When I changed my password I was able to move on with mail on my phone and laptop. I now find that all the mails I sent yesterday have got stuck in my Outbox and have not actually been sent. i have since opened up my gmail account via Google and have pasted i the messages and successfully sent from there.
How can I now restore my Mac Mail on the laptop to send my mail?
I would interested to hear views.

Hello Nicholas,
It sounds like you are suddenly unable to send email from the Mail app but can log into your webmail and send the emails without issue. I recommend you use the following article, to help figure out what the issue is, named:
OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

  • Can't work out how to stop Mac mail from Forwarding to GMail account.

    Okay. This is on behalf of my sister. For whatever reason, when emails are sent to her @mac.com address they get forwarded to her GMail account and deleted from her @mac.com address. So they never appear in her @mac.com inbox. She now wants this relationship to stop and wants to delete her GMail account due to hacking fears and use the @mac.com address as it was intended, but between us we can not figure out where the setting that is doing the forwarding and deleting command it set. I thought I had nailed it when I hit upon the "Rules" section in OS Mail preferences, but there was nothing in there. I then thought it might be a setting on her GMail account, but they are all standard as well.
    So is there some place I'm not looking in either OS Mail or on me.com, or some place else that contains this type of forwarding commands that I'm clearly missing.
    Thank you for any suggestions in advance
    One thought I had was if I deleted her Mac account from OS Mail and re-built it, would that start everything from scratch???

    Managed to solve this myself. Yeah.
    It was a Mobile Me setting.
    log on to me.com in an internet browser. Then select the preferences option under actions in the Mail area and select other, and in there you'll find forwarding options.... what a ball ache to find it though. Its not very clear at all. If u have a similar problem, then I suggest logging into me.com and do a search for forwarding and you'll find what you need straight away.

  • I have tried to update flash player and when I put in my password, it is rejected.  I have recently updated my email address and changed my password, but adobe will not accept.  Can I get help, please, to update flash player?

    I have tried to update flash player and when I put in my password, it is rejected.  I have changed my email and password and have so informed adobe, but I am still unable to install flash player update.  How can I update adobe flash?

    This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
    If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt.  If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
    If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.

  • I have two @me email addresses, and changing my password did not work for the original one

    I recently changed my password for my apple id, and it was successful - to a point.  I have two email accounts, it appears ... my original @me and a new one assigned  by icloud.  The password changed properly for this new email (which I never use) and not for the old one (which I always use).  How can I fix this?

    Hi bizebill,
    Thank you for your question. I understand that you would like to sync all of your devices. Please make sure that all of the devices are updated at least to version 29.
    If you were on a version before this, you will have to set up a new email and password with the new sync.
    I hope this helps.

    I just trying to search app for my nikon d4s for photoshop cs5. And I trying to download the camera raw 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6 but no one was success. Any body can help ? I am use window 7 on my desktop.

    there is no such thing. Camera Raw is specific to certain versions of PS. 8.x will never work in CS5. you need to update your software or settle on using the DNG converter.

    That depends on what you mean by "restore," what system your MacBook Pro came with when it was new, and/or what backups you have taken.

  • How To Reset Mac Mail 3.6 To Default Settings

    Hello Mac People!
    6 months ago I was using a third party tool with my Mac Mail. The tool added an auto BCC address to every outgoing mail. I no longer use the tool and deactivated the third party tool. But there was an error in deactivating and the BCC address is still attached to every outgoing email. I asked the third party tool and they tried everything to fix it, but nothing worked.
    I visited the Genius Bar and they said the only way to fix it now, would be to reset my Mac Mail to the original settings (aka start all over) and then re-add each email account, folder, rule, preferences, etc.
    It's a pain, but I have to do it.
    Problem is I forgot how to save all my current emails in Mac Mail so when I reset everything I can re-import my current emails.
    I also don't know how to reset Mac Mail to its original settings.
    Please help. Thanks!

    Thanks GS,
    I did do this with the Genius Bar, but possible we missed something, so here's a list of what was in each folder:
    Home/Library/Mail/Bundles > Nothing in this folder
    /Library/InputManagers > 1 folder (http://screencast.com/t/YjdiMjRmM) I think unrelated
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins > Several files (http://screencast.com/t/ZTk3M2QyOD) most I know are not related, a few I don't know what they are from.
    Home/Library/InputManagers > I don't have this folder
    Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins > 2 Files (http://screencast.com/t/Y2ZhZmM0) I think unrelated
    Ok let me know if this makes any sense to you. Thanks!

  • How to restore mac air osx 10.6.7

    how to restore mac air osx 10.6.7

    Hi Jeannette,
    If you have the newest MacBook Air then you would have received a USB "thumb drive" with the OS installation media on it. You'd want to plug that into one of your available USB ports and run the installer. If your MacBook Air is a generation or two old then it would have come with DVD installation media. You'd need an external DVD drive (USB) or to configure Disc Sharing with another computer (Mac or PC).
    Here's a good article regarding the USB stick - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4399

    You would need to purchase MS Outlook for Mac - here's a link.
    Unfortunately this means you would need to buy the whole MS Office package.

    And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
    I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
    The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
    And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.
